oh, my best friend from back home used to work for mitsu like 2 years ago, he told me you can't get extended warrenties for the evo's (they won't sell them to you)   i wonder why.  a massave turbo pumping out all that horsepower out of a tiny 4 banger  pfff, it won't last.  he worked for subaru before he worked for mitsu, but i don't know if you can get extended warrenties for the STI either.  probably the same thing.  i say, if you want a fast car, buy a fast car.  don't buy a small 4 cylender that was modded, it won't cut it in the long hawl. 

my solution to all of this is:  get a corvette.  i know its american, but the fact that germany can't build a better one says a lot.  and the fact that its been around for 53 straight years, how many german or japanese companies can say that about their cars.  woot woot, and if you think you found a better car, try beating a ZO6  omg, i'm in heaven just thinking about it
